Ano vi al ,I T ''Porta'nt feature in the Wood Screw-fastening is, that diago t'ecks (with two thicknesses), discontinued on account of the do fastenings, may be revived with advantage by the introdue tits of this new fastening : these decks possessing the advantages ,i,llrior strength and lightness over the ordinary decks. . ttn e his fastening further opens a business of considerable imnort e' bein available in house-flooring, ar.d as a general arcliitee f t g Tl .s ening.

GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion- house, London. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay ment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted ab death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar rangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in, all other Com panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. Ifs. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium un paid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for tune, but of an income, however moderate, to inn& his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family. RATES OF PREMIUM. Age. Without Profits. With Profits. 25 30 40 50 60 Annuities are granted on very liberal terms. HONORARY PRESIDENTS.
